Manchester City exploring move for €60 million-rated Barcelona star | OneFootball

According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester City have reportedly shown strong interest in signing Dani Olmo from Barcelona, creating uncertainty surrounding the midfielder’s future at the Catalan club.

Olmo joined Barcelona in the summer for around €50 million, but Barcelona’s ongoing financial difficulties have led to complications with his registration.

These issues with the Spanish Football Federation and La Liga have raised concerns about the stability of Olmo’s contract, putting Barcelona at risk of losing him.

According to reports, the contract Olmo signed with Barcelona includes a clause that could allow him to leave the club if the transfer does not go ahead as initially agreed with La Liga.  This clause has created an opening that rival clubs have been quick to exploit.

At Man City, Olmo is seen as a highly valuable player. His ability to play both in midfield and on the wings makes him a versatile and dynamic option, which would suit Manchester City’s style of play.

Known for their possession-based football and tactical flexibility, the Premier League champions could use Olmo to add depth and creativity to his attacking options.

As Barcelona face these registration and financial hurdles, City are well-positioned to act quickly. While other clubs may also be interested, the complications surrounding Olmo’s contract give them a distinct advantage.

This situation, still developing, could turn into a major transfer opportunity for the Premier League side if Barcelona cannot resolve the issue in time.

For now, Olmo’s future remains uncertain. Barcelona are working to fix the issues surrounding his contract, but with Manchester City watching closely, the Spanish midfielder’s next move could take an unexpected turn.
